Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe avocados (about 1 1/2 to 2 cups flesh)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2–4 tablespoons non-dairy milk (almond, oat, or coconut), as needed for blending
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Optional add-ins: 1–2 tablespoons melted dairy-free dark chocolate for extra richness; 1–2 teaspoons espresso or strong coffee to deepen chocolate flavor
  • Optional toppings (choose one): coconut whipped cream, fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, chopped nuts, a dollop of Greek yogurt (non-vegan option)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the avocados: Halve, pit, and scoop flesh into a high-speed blender or food processor. Make sure they’re ripe for the smoothest texture.
  • Add the flavor base: Sprinkle in cocoa powder and salt, then add maple syrup and vanilla. If using espresso or melted chocolate, add it now.
  • Blend until smooth: Start on low, then increase speed. Add non-dairy milk a tablespoon at a time to help it move. Scrape down the sides once or twice.
  • Taste and adjust: Add more maple for sweetness, a pinch more salt to brighten, or extra cocoa for a darker chocolate profile.
  • Chill: Spoon into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes. This helps it thicken and the flavors settle.
  • Serve: Top with coconut whipped cream or, for a flex option, a spoon of Greek yogurt. Finish with berries or shaved chocolate.
